I tend to buy pc games very less now, and even those, I usually buy of deals that come on Origin, Steam, Amazon, D2D, GMG, etc. The last box I bought was the Civ 5 collectors edition for 14 bucks, and that too just for the miniatures, I already had the game on steam. Do you guys buy boxed games any more?

I bought Commandos for a buck at a yard sale a few years ago.

Aside from that I've been buying everything I play through Steam for years.

Do console games count? If not then I have no clue... it's been a LONG time.

Dead Space 1. And before that, HL2. The box that has the character's face on the cover... Still have that one.

ass creed revelations about a month ago, digital was regionally gouged for me so boxed was much cheaper.

Looking through my games, it seems it was GTL in 2008. I think I got that game for the historic Mod for rF.

Been a long time since I bought a box game.

Skyrim was the last one I bought retail from Newegg since they have the best preorder price usually. Next one will be Mass Effect 3 also from Newegg.

Battlefield 3.
I don't want to give the full amount of money to EA because that's exactly the reason why they came up with Origin and now forcing that POS software on everyone.

i guess i will be missing out on mass effect 3

I don't think I've ever bought a game digitally except for a few cell phone games. The last three games I've bought (skyrim, portal 2, starcraft 2) were all boxed.

I will never -EVER- buy a game that requires origin though. Don't want anything to do with a service that will remove your ownership of a game after two years. I already hate the idea that steam owns some of my games as it is.

Origin won't remove your games after 2 years Rakeesh.

Yes they will. If there is no activity for 2 years. It's under there agreement that you must accept when using origin. I won't use origin either. I saw it on several sites back when I was thinking of getting BF3.

No, they won't. They can, but you agreed to similar thing with Steam. I don't see people rioting over that...
